Jamie Brown+FollowStop Watering Plants at the Worst Time!Ever wondered why your plants wilt during a heat wave, even when you water them? Turns out, watering during the hottest part of the day is a rookie mistake! The water just evaporates before your plants can drink it up. The real trick? Give your garden a good soak first thing in the morning so they can soak up all that moisture before the sun gets brutal. Night watering is better than nothing, but watch out for overwatering and fungus. Morning wins every time! #Home #PlantTips #GardeningHacks271Share
